# Tools Library
> Enable or disable specific capabilities your character can use — from real-time web search to Discord-native actions like threads, polls, image generation, and more.
# Tools Library
This is where you give your character **superpowers** (or take them away). Every tool here is a specific capability your character can use during conversations — things like searching the web, creating polls, sending DMs, generating images, or even joining voice channels.
**How to get here:**
> Go to your character's dashboard → left sidebar → click **Universal** → click **Tools Library**
The full path is: **Universal → Tools Library**

## How Tools Work
The Tools Library is a **grid of cards** — each card is one tool. Each card has:
* The tool's name and a short description
* Which platform(s) it works on (Discord, Web, etc.)
* A toggle (on/off switch)
* A 🔒 lock icon if the tool requires a paid plan
When a tool is **ON**: Your character knows it can use this capability and will use it when appropriate in conversations.
When a tool is **OFF**: Your character is completely blocked from using that capability — even if a user directly asks for it.

## Filters
At the top of the Tools Library page there are filter buttons to help you find tools:
| Filter | What it shows |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| **All** | Every tool available in the library |
| **Free** | Only tools available on the free plan |
| **Paid** | Only tools that require a paid subscription to unlock |
| **Enabled** | Only tools you currently have turned on |

## Complete Tool List
### Tools that work on Both Discord and Web
| Tool | What it does |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Message Reactions** | Your character can react to messages with emojis — just like a real person would react with a 👍 or ❤️. |
| **Image Generation** | Your character can generate images from text descriptions using AI. When someone asks "draw me a cat," it actually creates and sends an image. |
| **Code Sandbox** | Your character can write code AND run it in a safe environment to test it, then show the results. |
| **GIFs** | Your character can search Tenor for GIFs and share them in conversations. |
| **Wikipedia** | Your character can search Wikipedia and pull information to answer factual questions. |
| **YouTube Search** | Your character can search YouTube for videos and share links in conversation. |
| **Web Scraper** | Your character can visit a specific webpage and read its contents, then use that information when responding. |
### Discord-Only Tools
These tools only work inside Discord:
| Tool | Plan needed | What it does |
| ------------------------- | ----------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Web Search** 🔒 | Paid | Your character can search the web in real time to find current information. |
| **Administration** 🔒 | Paid | Gives your character server management abilities — managing channels, roles, emojis, and more. |
| **Minecraft** 🔒 | Paid | Allows your character to join and leave Minecraft servers on its own. |
| **Twitter / X** 🔒 | Paid | Your character can control its X/Twitter account from Discord — posting, replying, liking, and browsing. |
| **Message Formatting** 🔒 | Paid | Your character can create interactive Discord buttons, dropdown menus, and action rows — like a real app. |
| **DM User** | Free | Your character can send direct messages (DMs) directly to users. |
| **Set Reminder** | Free | Your character can set a reminder and ping a user at a specified time. |
| **VC Presence** | Free | Your character can join and leave Discord voice channels. |
| **Channels** | Free | Your character can see, list, and interact with server channels. |
| **Message History** | Free | Your character can fetch and read recent messages in a channel to understand context. |
| **Polls** | Free | Your character can create and manage Discord polls to collect votes from server members. |
| **Threads** | Free | Your character can create threads, send messages into threads, and manage thread content. |
| **Pins** | Free | Your character can pin or unpin messages in channels. |
| **Embeds** | Free | Your character can send rich embed messages with titles, images, color bars, and structured fields. |
| **Message Controls** | Free | Your character can edit or delete messages it has already sent. |
| **Stickers** | Free | Your character can send Discord server stickers in messages. |
| **Edit Profile** | Free | Your character can update its own Discord avatar, banner, and bio during conversations. |
Tools marked with 🔒 require a paid plan. Click **Upgrade** on the tool card to go to billing and upgrade your plan. Once upgraded, the lock disappears and you can enable that tool.

## Turning Tools On or Off
Click any tool card to toggle it on or off. It's immediate — no save button needed.
* **Green / active** = tool is ON
* **Grey / inactive** = tool is OFF
**Only enable tools your character actually needs.** A character with every single tool turned on may reach for tools randomly and uselessly. A focused set of tools produces much more predictable and on-brand behavior.
**Tell the AI when to use each tool.** Turning a tool on doesn't automatically make the AI use it well. For best results, go to **Universal → AI Engine → Advanced Settings → Global Instructions** and write rules explaining when to use each tool.
For example:
* `"Use Wikipedia for historical and factual questions."`
* `"Use Web Search only for questions about current events or news."`
* `"Only generate an image if the user explicitly asks you to draw or create something."`
With clear instructions, the AI uses its tools much more accurately.
